PBSI Trial Mixed Doubles Dejan/Fadia And Rinov/Lisa

JAKARTA The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) has overhauled and conducted a mixed doubles trial of Dejan Ferdinanysah/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and Rinov Rivaldy/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati.

The Secretary General of PBSI, Ricky Subagja, confirmed this when met at the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center, East Jakarta, on Friday, December 6, 2024.

"In the mixed doubles we included Dejan with Fadia and Rinov with Lisa," said the 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold medalist.

Of the four names, only Dejan has been outside the Cipayung PBSI National Training Center. He is currently still listed playing with his partner, Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.

Dejan/Gloria will still be paired at the Malaysia Open 2025 on January 7-12 2025 before Dejan replaces the pair with Fadia.

Ricky said that Dejan's summons to the PBSI National Training Center to be united with Fadia had gone through a long discussion.

"The rain, we know the quality is very good, and we need it. For official summons to the PBSI National Training Center, it is not yet. However, the potential is needed so who to pair it with, the choice is to Fadia," he said.

On the other hand, Rinov was previously paired with Pitha Haningtyas Mentari. The two pairs will be tested for a while while observing developments.

The two pairs plan to play their first tournament at the 2025 India Open in January 2025. After that, they will appear at the 2025 Indonesia Masters a week later.
